As title states. Engine is currently in my car and can be driven/seen running. Was rebuilt a few years ago and then mothballed, and has been started every 3 months since. The entire engine has done around 5000km, it's basically only just run in.

It's a series 1 RB25DE head grafted onto a series 1 RB30 block which has had the oil feed and returns tapped in to the block (so it is now identical to a series 2 block). The head was fully reconditioned, with new valve seats, springs etc etc etc, basically a full job. The bottom end was built with Clevite 77 rod bearings and genuine Nissan main bearings. The pistons are ACL cast pistons and the rods are standard items that have been beam polished and shot peened.

Essentially:

Engine;

RB25/30, fully rebuilt head and bottom end, everything has done about 5000km since rebuild with no issues. No blowby, no oil usage or leaks, a very tight engine.

Parts list:

3ltr block

ACL cast pistons, standard bore size, ACL race series rings.

Rods - standard. Crack tested, cryo treated, beam polished then shot peened.

Bearings: Nissan mains, clevite 77 rods.

R32 GTR oil pump.

R33 RB25DE head

fully rebuilt, new valve guides, reseated valves etc

stock cams

RB25DET 380cc injectors

This setup made 235rwkw on my twincharged setup, so it's quite well set up. The timing belt setup uses two tensioners on the high edge of the block so it's easier to adjust the tension on the slack and tight sides independently. The head was welded and faced to delete the VCT function, and a grub screw setup was put in the front intake cam bearing to supply oil to the front cam journal. The VCT is therefore disabled.

For extra cost I can supply my twincharge hotside and a JD custom plenum setup for the intake, but most likely I will sell that stuff separately.

Price: $2500

For that you get the block + head assembled, the oil pump and cam drive setup, rocker covers, spark plugs, cams etc all ready to go.

Location: inner north melbourne.

Pickup only. Happy to start car and allow buyer to listen to engine and inspect for leaks, smoke etc - there is none, this engine is mint. I will take half deposit, then remove engine for the buyer within 2 weeks.

hmmmm could be tough - she's not exactly light! I could probably find a pallet and strap it to that, but I'm unsure if I can get a courier to pick it up from my door, you'd need a forklift or something

If you know a way to do it easily then I can definately freight it, but I'd much prefer pickup because it's farkin heavy

bump - engine is coming out next weekend, so if you're interested in seeing it run before then, please pm me. otherwise take my word for it that it's good.

This engine made 235rwkw in my VL on 9psi, so it's pretty well set up. Quench is 35 thou. Power output only limited by the RB30 rods which are good for up to 300-320rwkw. Change the rods over to some cheap Spool rods or similar and it will be good for a LOT more power.

Price drop to $2300 if you put a deposit on it next week

The powerFC that ran this engine is now gone, so you can't see it running. Russman saw and heard it run when he picked the ECU so he can vouch for the fact that it didn't blow smoke or knock.

Engine is coming out this weekend.

Got 3 interested buyers, first person to put cash in my hand gets it

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
